cos(θ)-sin(θ)=1

Solution

cos (θ) - sin (θ) = 1

Solution

θ = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, θ = 2 π + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 36 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (θ) - sin (θ) = 1

Subtract

1

from both sides

cos (θ) - sin (θ) - 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + cos (θ) - sin (θ)

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (\frac{π}{2} - x)

= - 1 + cos (θ) - cos (\frac{π}{2} - θ)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

cos (s) - cos (t) = - 2 sin (\frac{s + t}{2}) sin (\frac{s - t}{2})

= - 1 - 2 sin (\frac{θ + \frac{π}{2} - θ}{2}) sin (\frac{θ - ( \frac{π}{2} - θ )}{2})

2 sin (\frac{θ + \frac{π}{2} - θ}{2}) sin (\frac{θ - ( \frac{π}{2} - θ )}{2}) = 2 sin (\frac{4 θ - π}{4})

2 sin (\frac{θ + \frac{π}{2} - θ}{2}) sin (\frac{θ - ( \frac{π}{2} - θ )}{2})

\frac{θ + \frac{π}{2} - θ}{2} = \frac{π}{4}

\frac{θ + \frac{π}{2} - θ}{2}

θ + \frac{π}{2} - θ = \frac{π}{2}

θ + \frac{π}{2} - θ

Group like terms

= θ - θ + \frac{π}{2}

Add similar elements:

θ - θ = 0

= \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{π}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{π}{4}

= 2 sin (\frac{π}{4}) sin (\frac{θ - ( - θ + \frac{π}{2} )}{2})

\frac{θ - ( \frac{π}{2} - θ )}{2} = \frac{4 θ - π}{4}

\frac{θ - ( \frac{π}{2} - θ )}{2}

Expand

θ - (\frac{π}{2} - θ) : 2 θ - \frac{π}{2}

θ - (\frac{π}{2} - θ)

- (\frac{π}{2} - θ) : - \frac{π}{2} + θ

- (\frac{π}{2} - θ)

Distribute parentheses

= - (\frac{π}{2}) - (- θ)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - \frac{π}{2} + θ

= θ - \frac{π}{2} + θ

Simplify

θ - \frac{π}{2} + θ : 2 θ - \frac{π}{2}

θ - \frac{π}{2} + θ

Group like terms

= θ + θ - \frac{π}{2}

Add similar elements:

θ + θ = 2 θ

= 2 θ - \frac{π}{2}

= 2 θ - \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{2 θ - \frac{π}{2}}{2}

Join

2 θ - \frac{π}{2} : \frac{4 θ - π}{2}

2 θ - \frac{π}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

2 θ = \frac{2 θ 2}{2}

= \frac{2 θ \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{π}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{2 θ \cdot 2 - π}{2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{4 θ - π}{2}

= \frac{\frac{4 θ - π}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{4 θ - π}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{4 θ - π}{4}

= 2 sin (\frac{π}{4}) sin (\frac{4 θ - π}{4})
